Im confused if Daylight is a Swiftgron or Kaylor song? I once believed love would be (Black and white) But it's golden (Golden) And I can still see it all (In my head) Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed) I once believed love would be (Burning red) But it's golden Like daylight, like daylight Like daylight, daylight This verse threw me off. New york, Gold... once believed love was burning red?

Hello. ❤️

My main interpretation of Daylight most days is that golden love is not primarily about connecting it to this or that person, but to the experience of a feeling and how we approach relationships as an adult after a number of experiences. A lot of it is about how we cope with things in life (not just romance) not being our idealistic experience. It’s more about love that isn’t just black and white—cut and dry—or burning red—intense and passionate—but golden like daylight—visible light is all colors of the spectrum. It’s taking the good with the bad, the simple with the complex, the entire rainbow of experiences and of emotion of life and letting go of the idea of some kind of fairytale life.

With that said, in terms of how I think the alleged relationships play into it: I’ve familiarized myself with the timeline of events and done my own research and have drawn my own conclusions over the last year. I believe based on what we can observe and deduce that Kaylor were rocky in 2016 and didn’t last in a substantial way past that for a variety of reasons.

There have also been lots of noteworthy and interesting things that appear to have been happening in Swiftgron social media coordinations and shenanigans since 2016. It seems like Dianna and Taylor reconciled, have been in contact and civil to varying degrees since around then.

Gaylors all have their own ideas of how they interpret the way events and songs have unfolded. I understand why Kaylors don’t want to see things this way. I don’t think Swiftgron are currently together or even that they have been in a committed relationship, but in light of folklore, it’s pretty obvious to me and those in the Swiftgron corner that Taylor considers Dianna her muse. That’s the only way folklore makes sense as autobiographical. With folklore, it’s clear Taylor has had a lot of feelings to work out about their alleged 2011-2013 relationship and whatever supposed cycles they’ve been through in and out of each other’s lives post-2016.

So with my stance in all that clarified, with Taylor’s art in mind, with Taylor saying she didn’t write after 1989, with my timelines and series of events in mind, with folklore completely upending whatever space I made for Kaylor in the rep/Lover equation before it came out...I’m feeling a lot less inclined now since the release of folklore to say “take them both into consideration” for rep/Lover. I’m still untangling my brain in light of the new album and trying to go back to rep and Lover, but at this point I wouldn’t attribute many songs to being even partially Kaylor-inspired off the top of my head. If you or others are not comfortable with that, I get it. It’s just what makes the most sense to me now with this how things have added up to this album.

Listen to folklore. Listen to Taylor. Look at the art. Look at the Easter eggs. Read my mini Series of Events posts. Ask yourself how that would all line up so well with Taylor’s art if Dianna wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously as “her muse” in 2020, and if absolutely nothing of significance has been going on with them these last few years.

I wouldn’t say anymore that New York or gold references are symbols of a Kaylor song, although I was willing to buy into that idea more before folklore.

Even my visible narrative-believing self of last summer/fall could see Taylor connecting Lover to Red and Dianna. Even I took note of the etymological connection of The Archer to what I didn’t even fully accept was a real relationship last summer in the overwhelming wave of Kaylor and Jaylor.

Dianna herself publicly appeared just weeks after the album release (for what I like to call Invisible String Day lol) in New York for a performance of False God (a song referencing New York) and Lover.

Taylor’s the one that wore a red rose on her shirt for the rep scene in the Lover music video, a symbol that we now know adds up to connecting to the lakes lyric a red rose grew up out of frozen ground and her disappearance in 2016 and Cornelia Street and MAATHP, which is making sense to all be about Dianna for me now.

Taylor’s the one that made the main focus of the snowglobe Lover video the Red room last summer, which features gold details.

Taylor’s the one that confirmed that the seahorse patch on the Red room jacket is because they mate for life.

Taylor’s the one that put the heart “you’re my person” patch on the Red room jacket.

Taylor’s the one that said “it’s been a happy, free, confused, sometimes lonely but mostly golden decade” which is a modified phrase from the liner booklet where Dianna’s name appears in 22.

And now Taylor has connected folklore to Red and “sad, beautiful, tragic” “lost love” with William Bowery co-writes that easily connect to Dianna as James.

And Taylor’s the one that said I’m setting off, but not without my muse to close the album.

And Dianna in Latin means “daylight”.

A string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar. Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire. Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons. One single thread of gold tied me to you.

If you look at what Taylor has done with her art and the hints she’s been giving, it all just adds up to being Dianna.

if anyone needs help right now, here are some resources.

if you need a counselor

another source for counseling

if you just need to breathe

if you’re thinking of hurting yourself

if you don’t feel safe in your home

if you’re a minor and being hurt

Y’all…. I’m speechless. This is a comment Karlie left on her new YouTube video today…. Not straight… I-

Damn. November 19th, 2018

This is the text Taylor sent to me on Monday, November 19th at 8:57am:

Scott,

I hope this finds you well. Since communication ran dry on our negotiations, I’ve done what I told you I would do and gone out exploring other options. Owning my masters was very important to me, but I’ve since realized that there are things that mean even more to me in the bigger picture. I had a choice whether to bet on my past or to bet on the future and I think knowing me, you can guess which one I chose. I also saw a rare opportunity to effect positive change for a lot of other artists with the leverage I have right now. I know you believe in the same things I do and I’d like to think you would be proud of what I’ve negotiated for in my deal. I wanted to tell you first that I’ll be signing with Lucian. I honestly truly cherish everything you and I have built together and I plan on saying so in my announcement of the new deal. What we accomplished together will be a lasting legacy and a case study on excellent partnerships, and may it continue. I still view you as a partner and friend and I hope you feel the same. Sending you a hug and my most sincere gratitude.

And SO much love,

Taylor

Gosh, Grey November for sure. My gosh. November 19th is haunted for real.

Fitting for her to release Red TV on that date.

oh honey is gonna get those streams yaaaas!!

I am 100% convinced pumpkin anon is legit. I mean there’s just no way they could’ve written these messages w so many parallels to ttpd w some phrases being almost exactly the same. And there’s undoubtedly more connections between them. My mind is absolutely blown rn

because we all need some positive thoughts, what's your favorite kaylor moment?

This pic! If you were not following back then, this was a Kaylor reunion after they had been apart for weeks. Both of their schedules were so busy and so public so we knew they had not seen each other for awhile. Then Taylor showed up in London at Karlie’s Fund Fair event. The photographer said this was when Taylor walked in, and the screeched when they saw each other. 🥰 We got lots of great pics that night!

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
